Here’s a lovely way to work up a favourite ball of springy worsted. These little mitts are extremely stretchy and though the worsted wool means they’re substantial, the ribbing and cables are designed to give you a snug and comfortable fit.

The pattern is primarily charted - but there is written support for working the thumb.

The mitts have a little bit of everything: ribbing, twisted stitches, cables and a panel of lace. So you shouldn’t get bored knitting them and they make a great quick gift knit.

These mittens are the first free release from the one perfect skein project - looking at fun ways to work up a single skein of luxury yarn.
